Savoy Gallery in Turin
The Savoy Gallery is one of the most important art galleries in Italy. It is home to a considerable amount of paintings from various periods and collected from the first collection commissioned by Charles Albert of Savoy in 1832, the year in which the Gallery was built.
Donated to the Government in 1860, the collection of paintings, which was initially kept in Palazzo Madama, was moved to its current home in the Palazzo dell’Accademia delle Scienze. The building built according to a design by Guarino Guarini had housed the College of Nobles during the previous century.
The paintings on show in the gallery cover an extensive historic and artistic range. The Savoy Gallery counts works by Fifteenth and Sixteenth century Italian masters, Piedmontese artworks ranging from 1300 to 1500, Flemish artworks, Dutch art, Caravaggism work as well as Lombard mannerism.
The canvases originating from the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace), from the Palazzo Carignano in Turin and from the Palazzo Durazzo in Genoa, alongside donations from up to the mid Nineteenth century, stand side by side with the collection of ancient art (Duccio di Boninsegna, Signorelli, Veronese and Titian) belonging to Riccardo Gualino and donated to the Gallery in 1928 and laid out according to a “Museum Home” inside.
